Eggs for kidney disease has been a hot topic lately whether or not it should be included in your diet. Eggs could be taken within moderation as long as it fits within your specific renal diet. Although egg yolks are very nutritious for you, they contain high amounts of phosphorus, making egg whites a better choice for people following a specific renal diet. Eggs have a positive effect on
people's cholesterol levels in healthy adults and chronic kidney disease.

We don't really know the impact of eggs, but what we do know as they mention in the medical research is that even with the cholesterol recommendations, it doesn't impact most people with chronic kidney disease. Robert always recommends a more vegetarian approach with limited or no animal protein but if you are going to have animal protein, eggs can be a benefit.

The only problem Robert reiterates is that the yolk is high phosphorus so if you have high phosphorus, you should avoid the yolk and stick with egg whites or if you're trying to be mindful of your phosphorous level, use the egg whites and you can make a lot of great omelets with egg whites. Egg whites generally provide a highquality kidneyfriendly source of protein. To add on, they’re an excellent choice for people undergoing dialysis treatment, who have higher protein needs but need to limit their phosphorus levels.

Eggs can be a very inexpensive, easily available, and highquality source of protein, as well as a rich source of leucine, an essential amino acid that plays a large role in muscle protein synthesis. However, egg yolk is a concentrated source of phosphorus which may have potentially harmful effects in CKD. The good thing about eggs is it doesn't raise the blood sugar at all so it could be a good substitute for people that have diabetic kidney disease.
